Filling the principle of insularity with content would be easier if the next minister for the South were Sardinian. "I hope that's the way it is, for his direction would pass the interventions to fill the infrastructural gap that the island is suffering from," explains Pietro Pittalis, 64-year-old deputy from Nuoro from Forza Italia in the running as leader to the proportional for a second term. In this way, he recalls, "the optimal conditions would be created to achieve a series of objectives such as bringing the railway to Nuoro".
That government role could be held by his colleague Ugo Cappellacci.
«President Berlusconi was clear: for the policies for the South Fi he will indicate a Sardinian. If it was Cappellacci I will be happy. It falls within his competence and as a former president of the Region he knows the Sardinia system well, he has also worked with me to involve the mayors, create a link with the various ministries and raise awareness of the great opportunities offered by the PNRR and the establishment of the Zes. All this is the sign of President Berlusconi's special attention for the island ».
How are interventions such as the restoration of the railway in Nuoro financed?
"In particular, by leveraging the structural funds of the Community framework of European support, considering that Sardinia is part of Objective 1. I remember that the most important road works on the island are possible thanks to Community funds".
How do you overcome the high-bill emergency?
“These days the government is taking action to alleviate the burden on families and businesses, but it is necessary to take medium and long-term initiatives. All of this can only be done through price control decided by agreed European policies. For us, the no policy must end: we say yes to renewables, regasifiers and waste-to-energy plants, but all in respect of the environment that passes through an agreement with the municipalities concerned. For example, I welcome the decision to block wind farms in the stretches of coast in front of tourist resorts ».
